Hello Everyone,
Do you know someone who has a spouse that is deployed that could use a laptop and a webcam?
If so, please help spread the word about a program called, Laptops for Flat Tops.
See the information below.
WHO: Online retailer, AllAmericanDirect.com
WHAT: A re-launch of the popular ‘Laptops for Flat Tops’ contest that chooses two military families to win a laptop with an embedded webcam (for the family) and an additional webcam (for the soldier) to help improve communication with their loved one while they are deployed.
HOW: Interested parties may simply go to the site and tell us why they deserve to win. Enter the contest via allamericandirect.com/military for written submissions and via www.youtube.com/group/laptopsforflattops for video submissions. If you are submitting via video, join the group, and submit a one-minute video. When you submit your video, please remember to begin it with your name, and then submit an entry to www.allamericandirect.com/military with the words “see video”, so we can send you your laptop if you win! Families must be able to verify their loved one’s enlistment.
WHEN: The contest went live on Monday, August 3rd. The contest closes at 11:59 PM EDT (15:59 GMT) on Friday, September 4. Winners of the contest will be announced on Monday, September 14. Families may re-submit a new essay for each bi-monthly contest if they were not previously selected. The contest will continue every other month through December 2009.
WHY: After the success of their first two contests in April and June, AllAmericanDirect.com is even more excited and committed to saluting those in uniform by giving them the means to ‘see’ their family while they are thousands of miles away. Everyone knows how difficult separation from a loved one can be, especially when deployments are long and/or extended. This is a way for AllAmericanDirect.com to say thank you to the soldiers and military families that have sacrificed so much to serve the USA.

What a great idea for military families. We are not military but live in a military town. It is so important to be able to communicate with deployed loved ones!
I like the new look!

"Oh sweetie!
I'll be praying for you and the baby. Keep us posted. I'm also praying that the hospital staff will be efficient, helpful, caring, and knowledgeable on what to do."
Thank you so much! I appreciate your prayers so much! It was my first time ever having to be a patient at the hospital and I was pretty scared. Thanks again!
"So sorry to hear about what happened. Will continue to pray for you. I'm glad that you are able to have the support of your husband and family during this time.
I'm also kinda irritated at the run around you got from the base. I used to work on the base in the hospital and it sounds like you ran into a lot of people that were new to the job or didn't know what they were doing. Hopefully, they will be more on top of their game now.
Praying for God's peace and comfort for you!"
Thanks again for your comment and prayers. Yes, I don't know what the base's problem was. It was really irritating and frustrating. The sad thing is I never told them I got the results from the OB, the base was still supposed to call with my results and never has. So if I had not got the results from the OB I still might have been waiting… Really sad. I hope that does not happen to someone else. Anyways hope you are having a wonderful day! :0
Hello my friend! Stopping by to thank you for your sweet comment<3 YES....I am journaling maybe not as much but I do it when something significant happens. I'll also be making a scrapbook and a baby book with all the details! So excited!!!
About your post…I think it's a wonderful idea! I still belive milietaty wives/kids get over looked especially when it comes to deployment. This is a great thing they're doing!
Hugs, Susan
